Compliance

In addition, employment decisions at the University are based solely on job-related criteria. All personnel actions or programs that affect qualified individuals with disabilities or covered veterans, such as employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer, recruitment, advertising, termination, rate of pay or other forms of compensation, and selection for training, will be made without discrimination based upon the individual's physical or mental disability or veterans' status.

The University makes, and will continue to make, reasonable accommodations to promote the employment of qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans, unless such accommodations would impose an undue hardship on the University's business.

The AAP includes an audit and reporting system, which, among other things, provides information for the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of the AAP. All managers and supervisors will take an active part in the University's AAP to ensure that all qualified employees with disabilities and covered veterans and prospective employees are considered and treated in a non-discriminatory manner with respect to all employment decisions. Furthermore, Coppin State University will solicit the cooperation and support of all employees for the University's policy and AAP.

In accordance with federal and state law, the University's plan of affirmative action for individuals with disabilities and covered veterans will be available for inspection in the Office of Human Resources during regular business hours, upon request.

In addition, employees and applicants will not be subjected to bullying, harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion, or discrimination because they have engaged in, or may have engaged in, activities such as filing a complaint, assisting or participating in an investigation, compliance review or hearing, or opposing any act or practice made unlawful, or exercising any other right protected by Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended or the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended.
